Synergy Conference: Industry`s role in the reform of mathematics, science and technology education
The nation is in the midst of a unique period of educational change; at the cutting edge is the reform of mathematics, science, and technology education. With a history of trying to fix the parts, we now are attempting systemic reform. With a tradition of locally controlled school systems, we now are developing national standards. How can industry contribute to the systemic reform of K-12 mathematics, silence, and technology education? To help answer this question, the Triangle Coalition for Science and Technology Education and ten cosponsors hosted a Synergy Conference in June 1993. Industry representatives listened to presentations, held small-group discussions, and developed action plans and recommendations for ``synergy,`` where the outcome is greater than the sum of individual efforts.
